More People Than Ever Are Tuning In To Discovery Channel's 'Shark Week'

This year's "Shark Week" on the Discovery channel broke all viewership records in the 26 year history of "Shark Week" on Sunday, Aug. 4, with the premiere of "Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives," which had 4.8 million total viewers.

The show was the highest rated and most watched "Shark Week" episode to date. Additionally, "Megalodon" was up 141 percent in the 25-54-year-old demo versus the same time period in 2012.

However, despite the high viewership, hundreds of viewers were disgruntled about the fake documentary. The show snuck in a few quick disclaimers at the end that basically revealed their forgery, but many were angry about the deception.
